A search of the area disclosed a hole cut in the ice of tha lake and the bodies of the boys cram med through the hole. Two of the boys had been shot and the third had been killed with an axe. The depth of the snow over the burned cabin indicated that the murder had been committed about Christmas time. The icy winter had covered all possible clues. The only lead was the finding of the fox skins stor ed in a warehouse in Portland, but the owner of them had got ten wind that they were being watched and never came back. This was the beginning of a myth that a madman was run ning loose in the Cascades. Many incidents in the following years lended credence to this story. In a later article I will tell you some of the stories. Softball Teams Eye Full Week arfinn on all fronts for I &gene Softball Association week when the four league Steams head into the third action.

Good fortune smiled on the Indians when Avila drew a $100 fine and not a 10-day suspension, as called for by the rules, for bumping plate umpire Bill Grieve in New York Friday. Second base man Avila, leading the league with a .384 average, charged the umpire after he was called out on strikes in the sixth inning. Tough luck hit the Indians when they learned that the hand injury which slugger Rosen had shrugged off since May 25 turned out to be a broken finger that wiil sideline Mm for a week to 10 days. The first baseman, named the most valuable player in the Amer ican League iast season, hurt his right hand while fielding a hard smash by Jim Rivera at Chicago. Saturday morning, friends he was visiting at Norristown, Pa., urged him to see Dr. M. H. Gen- kms, who ordered an X-ray exami nation. The plate showed a chip fracture of the middle joint of the index finger.
